Vampyre and Pirate Captain. Lyria Blackwood was many things but she never expected to become the salvation of the sea.
Due to the blood running through her immortal veins, she may be the only one to break the curse plaguing her seas. Forming an unl...

Emotions were heightened for everyone aboard The Crimson Rose as the sun rose on the last day. Tomorrow, at dawn, Davy Jones would be coming for Lyria unless they somehow broke the curse within the 20 hours they had left. Walking out hand in hand, Lyria and Lucien's night of peace was shattered as members of their crew bombarded them for orders.
The Crimson Rose were running on high tensions and a motivation not to lose their Captain as they demanded to know what the plan of action was.
Being the gallant knight, James came to his Captain's rescue by stepping in and issuing the orders himself. Something he would have to get used to if they were not victorious. Smiling gratefully at James, she nodded at him to continue.
"Our best plan of action is to send a small group to look for the chest, another to look for the key. When both have been uncovered, return to the ship instantly. No hunting for treasure, no exploring, no dillydallying. Our Captain is depending on us."
Dividing themselves up, The Crimson Rose had split themselves into two groups of 8, leaving a small handful behind to defend the Captain and the ship.
"Why are only your crew allowed to go to shore and search for the chest? Believe it or not but we would also like a chance to save the sea. And Captain Lyria. Especially as it seems our Captain has chosen her for a worthy partner." A member of The Mermaid's Revenge spoke up.
Turning her attention to the man who had spoke, Lyria noticed he was a muscular fellow, stood at the front of the boat with his arms crossed. Much to her dismay, she realised she hadn't really taken the time to get to know the crew of The Mermaid's Revenge and yet here they were, wishing to help her save the sea and herself.
Before Lyria could protest, Jordyn had turned her attention and the crew and addressed them in the gruff voice she used to pass herself off as male.
"Butch, it would be better for all of us if they went. They can be out there for the twenty hours without needing a rest. You would just slow them down."
"Are you saying that your own crew is inferior to The Crimson Rose?" Butch snarled, taking a step forward.
Diffusing the tension before a fight broke out, Lucien stepped away from Lyria (placing a kiss to her temple) before hopping over to his ship and addressing his crew quietly. Pretending they couldn't hear the conversation, the Vampyres hurried about preparing 'supplies' they may need (but wouldn't use) before promising their Captain that they wouldn't fail her.
Smiling at each of them, Lyria tried to ignore how she was hurting them by giving them false hope but she would prefer that her crew wouldn't be here when Davy Jones came to collect her. Unfortunately, Caleb and James had stayed behind to protect their Captain as usual but once the ship had cleared, Caleb took one look at Lyria before disappearing from sight.
Letting out a deep sigh, Lyria relaxed into the comfort of James' arms when he wrapped them around her, placing his chin on her shoulder.
"I have every faith in our crew to succeed. You know they would never fail you."
